SPEAKER:

Matt Dabbs, Church Planter, Auburn, AL

Matt is a church planter, disciple maker, and digital marketer from Auburn, AL. Matt and some neighbors planted Backyard Church during COVID. They expanded into two house churches with plans to start more this year. Discipleship is at the core of the ministry - being disciples who make disciples who make more disciples who plant churches. He has started a digital marketing agency for helping counselors grow their practice in order to get in the marketplace where people need Jesus and in order to make the church planting model more reproducible. Matt is married to Missy. They celebrated their 20th anniversary this year. They have two teenage boys: Jonah and Elijah. Matt and Missy are both graduates of Harding University and Harding School of Theology.
